Public bug reported:
If user has linux-generic-hwe-18.04 installed, versioned linux-headers
packages depend on versioned linux-hwe-5.4-headers packages that will
not get removed. Consequently in time there will be hundreds of
thousands of unused files under /usr/src. For example I have about
450000 totalling 1.4 GB. The number of inodes may be bigger issue,
because file systems have some limitations.
I noted the issue when using my linux-purge tool. It is supposed to be
able to remove kernels, even if the file system runs out of inodes.
